CHICAGO, May 13.-The wheat market opened
higher with June at s614c An early squirt was
caused by some buying by clique houses, but
their purchases were on q small scale, and the
crowd realizing this, the market assumed such
character. AS the session advanced it became
apparent that the clique had u job on its hands
if it expected to keep the price of June above
Soc, the crowd being very bearsh. Outside
markets were weak, and the crowd kept plug
ging the clique brokers with wheat for long
time. The latter took all of the large lots that
came upon the Market but generally ignored
small lots For two hours following the first
hours session the price for June was invariably
between S66lS614c, except IN one instance, when
it momentarily sold down to Soc and 845sc, this
latter figure representing the trading of some
over-enthusiastic bears. There were no new
features in wheat on the afternoon board until
near the close of the session, when concerted
buying from all parts of the pit by the clique
and sellers of the morning sent June up to 8613c,
the highest point of the day. Corn opened quiet
but firm ut $500 for June but later in the day,
owing to heavy selling Of both June and July
options, prices sagged off very materially from
the opening figures. June sold down to 800
3916c and July TO 1915. Prices were little better
later on, and June closed at 393Sc and July at
411Ac. June ribs opened very weak at 81 05 and
sold down TO 81 0216, but active buying by vari-
GUS parties fir1ned them up in very few min
utes to 81 Is ana held steady until noon, when
they sold down TO their low water-mark again.
Half hour later they were again at the top under
heavy buying and closed at 81 1716 for July
Lard opened q shade easier at So rs, later be-
came steady, at So 50, again reacted and closed
at opening figures.
